GREASE STAIN FIX??? uhh yeah! I've got to remember this: Instead of using extra laundry detergent to pre-treat, turn to white chalk. Simply rub onto greasy stains and the chalk powder will absorb the grease, making the stain easily removable by the laundry soap in the wash. It might sound silly, but it's worked wonders for everything from lipstick to bacon grease.

Simply rub onto greasy stains and the chalk powder will absorb the grease, making the stain easily removable by the laundry soap in the wash. It might sound silly, but it's worked wonders for everything from lipstick to bacon grease and even though our laundry area is on prominent display, we still keep it out in case disaster

COUGHING REMEDY So simple you may doubt me but I have had awesome results… all you do is rub 4-6 drops of Eucalyptus oil on the soles of their feet. I never liked the messy chest rub…seemed so harsh and…well, a giant mess. I doubted that rubbing the oil onto the feet would do anything but in a house of coughing fits…one waking up the other and all of them waking me up…I gave it a shot. It worked like gangbusters!

How to get people to stop coughing at night and sleep...Eucalyptus oil...I would recommend the Vicks baby rub as it has the proper ratio of essential oils with lavender and rosemary which are also helpful, but if you only have Eucalyptus oil dilute it with a carrier oil, olive, almond or even a little A&D ointment. Three to four drops per Tbps oil for a toddler and five to six for a small child. Lavender is the only safe “neat” application for children. It works wonders on bug bites!

One pinner said:Changed my life... How to get people to stop coughing at night and sleep...ahh sleep!!! I swear by this and use it EVERYTIME!! 4 -6 drops on bottom of feet

√ -- Pinner said, "Changed my life... How to get people to stop coughing at night and sleep...ahh sleep!!!" -- Rub 4-6 drops of Eucalyptus oil on the soles of the cougher's feet. It works! -- NOTE, after reading the responses, I will use a carrier oil of either olive oil or coconut oil. Eucalyptus oil should not be use full strength on the skin.

bake eggs to make hard "boiled" eggs... This method just changed my life these came out perfect and it was so easy to just pop them in the oven for 30 min I will be doing all of my Easter eggs this way!!!!!!!!!!

How to make hard boiled eggs in the oven: Bake them at 350 degrees for ~30 minutes. Putting them in a mini muffin tin will help them from moving around. NOTE: When you bake eggs, the shells will get little brown dots but when you soak them in water the spots will all disappear... After baking 30 minutes: Get a huge bowl of ice water. Use tongs and put the eggs in the water. This stops the eggs from cooking more and turning green. After they are cooled (~10 mins) peel them & enjoy!

Make "Hard Boiled" Eggs in the Oven - bake eggs at 325 degrees for 30 mins. using tongs move to an ice bath for 10 mins. peel and enjoy!

"hard boiled" eggs in the oven... a great idea with Easter coming soon.

Place a dishwasher-safe cup filled with plain white vinegar on the top rack of the dishwasher. Using the hottest water available, run the dishwasher through a cycle. The vinegar will help to wash away the loose, greasy grime, sanitizes, and helps remove the musty odor. Next, sprinkle a cupful of baking soda around the bottom of the tub and run it through a short cycle. The baking soda will help freshen and removing stains.
